Meanwhile magazine

The Bad Bad Place is a dark tale of new town enervation and supernatural revenge, unrolling chapter by chapter in the pages of Meanwhile magazine, written by David Hine and rendered by yours truly.

There will be ten chapters in all, and the magazine that houses it also fetures Gary Spencer Millidge’s Strangehaven, and a revolving Brit-centric line-up of other strips. There’s been some fantastic work in there so far. Have a shufty, it’s worth buying direct from publisher Soaring Penguin’s site; http://soaringpenguinpress.com/

I have set up a Redbubble page , in a fit of larcenous greed, and so some specially selected and skilfully transmuted bits of my art, like the chap above, are now ready to be printed across a range of desirable products- t shirts, dresses, tablet and phone covers, bags and duvets, mugs and leggings. It’s all available here; https://www.redbubble.com/people/marxtafford70 and I’ll be adding more designs as and when the mood strikes.

Look spiffy.

Live spiffy.

I heartily endorse this product or service.

Comics

Despite years of dedication to retaining such anonymity and impoverished financial straits as befits an artiste of his calibre, Mark’s work has encroached on the commercial realm, and is available in bookshops across our fair isle. Details of what on offer can be found on the comics page

Commissions

For the last… ooh, 10 years or so Mr Stafford has been producing tiny, finely crafted canvasses… “for the ladies”. And now, in a fit of boundless generosity, he has decided to open up this service to you, yes, you.

Just let him know what your heart desires, cross his palm with silver, and he’ll create one of these original, one off beauties, just for you.

Lovecraft Anthology book

First published in 2011, The Lovecraft Anthology vol. One is available from Self Made Hero. Great collection of creepy tales from a fine line up. Dave Hine and myself got great notices for our ‘The Colour Out of Space” adaptation, but the book’s full of fine, tenebrous. eldritch, stygian things…

Though I notice that, after four years, no buggers’s actually reviewed it, so if you buy a copy, give it a go, eh?

And The Man Who Laughs:-Nominated for the ‘best book’ category in 2013’s British Comics Awards, My collaboration with the writer Dave Hine on Victor Hugo’s misshapen 1869 masterpice, for Self Made Hero is bloody marvelous, even if I do say so myself, and I don’t have to, because lots of other people are saying it for me. So buy a copy.
